To enable young people to have an opportunity not only to achieve but to also develop and learn new skills, meet new people and provide a firm foundation for building on in the future.
This is just one of the reasons Challenge Expedtions was created.
Challenge Expeditions aims to be as accessible as possible to all those wishing to take part in the DofE adventure.
Aiming to provide an enthusiastic and professional young person focused service, Challenge Expeditions allows young people to take control of their expedition.
All of our staff have a youth work background with a passion for the outdoors and a wealth of experience delivering expeditions.
Having worked with local authorities the Boys Brigade, The Scouts and many other large organisations our staff have the skills, knowledge and experience to ensure your expedition is a success.
